What is Evolution?

We emerged into plant life, and into the animal state, and then into being human, and always we have forgotten our former states, except in early spring when we slightly recall being green again.

That’s how a young person turns towards a teacher.

That’s how a baby leans toward the breast, without knowing the secret of its desire, yet turning instinctively.

Humankind is being led along an evolving course, through the migration of intelligences, and though we seem to be sleeping, there is an inner wakefulness that directs the dream, and that will eventually startle us back to the truth of who we are.”

Moon Moods

It's funny that I decided to wear my mood ring today. The Universe has a strange yet interesting way of packaging its lessons. And boy am I learning a lesson today.

Today's lesson is about moods, obviously. Today, of all days, I am learning how to control my moods and not allow them to rule me. The moon has a lot to do with this.

As I master the meanings of the different phases of the moon I am more equipped to deal with the many fluctuations of my "feelings" as they respond to the gravitational pull of the moon. The ebb and flow of the tides of my emotions.

Even though I am still fighting the urge to scream and throw a temper tantrum I will not give in. I will not allow this current "shit"-uation to disturb my inner peace.
